The Socialist State of Blargoblarg is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by General Secretary Kyulen with an iron fist, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, complete lack of prisons, and rampant corporate plagiarism. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 34.998 billion Blargoblargers are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Revachol. The income tax rate is 100%.

The all-consuming Blargoblarger economy, worth an astonishing 21,301 trillion people's dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, quite specialized black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Tourism. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is a breathtaking 608,637 people's dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Citizens who leave the nation for work are instantly charged with treason, mathematicians are gathering an infinite number of komodo dragons and typewriters to see if they can recreate the works of Max Barry, ignorance is considered a politically desirable quality, and military information leaks are **REDACTED** by **REDACTED** in **REDACTED**. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Blargoblarg's national animal is the komodo dragon, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Atheism.

Blargoblarg is ranked 331,414th in the world and 1st in Zeesh for Highest Disposable Incomes, with zero Standard Monetary Units.
